In this study, we synthesized La(OH)3:Eu3 + phosphor using the combustion method with diverse fuels — urea, glycine, and dextrose. Through XRD patterns and Rietveld refinement, we confirmed a hexagonal crystal structure with a P63/m space group for all samples. Our analysis also delved into morphological properties and elemental composition, revealing intriguing differences in particle shapes despite similar sizes, depending on the fuel utilized. Interestingly, the PL excitation and emission characteristics remained consistent among the sam- ples, displaying distinct bands. Spectroscopic investigation of Eu3 + activated La(OH)3 exhibits the strong red emission which indicated effective energy transfer among rare earth and host. Notably, when excited at 284/290 nm and 395 nm, the phosphor emitted multicolour bands spanning blue to red regions. However, some chal- lenges and shortcomings were observed related to lanthanum hydroxide such as thermal stability, because at higher temperatures samples decompose easily which can limit their high-temperature applications. Addition- ally, some more issues are with this material i.e. complexity in synthesis, insolubility in water and ageing and exposure to atmospheric CO2 which can change its composition. Despite these challenges, our research focuses on optimizing and improving all these parameters. Addressing these shortcomings of lanthanum hydroxide can be beneficial for the advancement of applications. This impressive emission spectrum underscores the potential of this synthesized phosphor for lighting and display devices. The consistent photoluminescence features across different fuel variations suggest robustness and versatility, indicating promising avenues for future exploration in lighting technology research.
